* Added a keyword argument 'on_duplicate_attribute' to the
BeautifulSoupHTMLParser constructor (used by the html.parser tree
builder) which lets you customize the handling of markup that
contains the same attribute more than once, as in:
<a href="url1" href="url2"> [bug=1878209]
* Added a distinct subclass, GuessedAtParserWarning, for the warning
issued when BeautifulSoup is instantiated without a parser being
specified. [bug=1873787]
* Added a distinct subclass, MarkupResemblesLocatorWarning, for the
warning issued when BeautifulSoup is instantiated with 'markup' that
actually seems to be a URL or the path to a file on
disk. [bug=1873787]
* The new NavigableString subclasses (Stylesheet, Script, and
TemplateString) can now be imported directly from the bs4 package.
* If you encode a document with a Python-specific encoding like
'unicode_escape', that encoding is no longer mentioned in the final
XML or HTML document. Instead, encoding information is omitted or
left blank. [bug=1874955]
* Fixed test failures when run against soupselect 2.0. Patch by Tomáš
Chvátal. [bug=1872279]
- remove soupsieve2-tests.patch: upstreamed
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-beautifulsoup4?expand=0&rev=77
- Update to 4.8.2
* Added Python docstrings to all public methods of the most commonly
used classes.
* Fixed two deprecation warnings. Patches by Colin
Watson and Nicholas Neumann. [bug=1847592] [bug=1855301]
* The html.parser tree builder now correctly handles DOCTYPEs that are
not uppercase. [bug=1848401]
* PageElement.select() now returns a ResultSet rather than a regular
list, making it consistent with methods like find_all().

* When the html.parser or html5lib parsers are in use, Beautiful Soup
will, by default, record the position in the original document where
each tag was encountered.
* Fixed the definition of the default XML namespace when using
lxml 4.4.
* Avoid a crash when unpickling certain parse trees generated
using html5lib on Python 3.
* Avoid a crash when trying to detect the declared encoding of a
Unicode document.
- Drop patch beautifulsoup4-lxml-fixes.patch as it seems not needed
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-beautifulsoup4?expand=0&rev=71
- Update to 4.8.0
* It's now possible to customize the TreeBuilder object by passing
keyword arguments into the BeautifulSoup constructor. The main
reason to do this right now is to change how which attributes are
treated as multi-valued attributes (the way 'class' is treated by
default). You can do this with the `multi_valued_attributes` argument.
* The role of Formatter objects has been greatly expanded. The Formatter
class now controls the following:
> The function to call to perform entity substitution. (This was
previously Formatter's only job.)
> Which tags should be treated as containing CDATA and have their
contents exempt from entity substitution.
> The order in which a tag's attributes are output.
> Whether or not to put a '/' inside a void element, e.g. '<br/>' vs '<br>'
All preexisting code should work as before.
* Added a new method to the API, Tag.smooth(), which consolidates
multiple adjacent NavigableString elements.
* ' (which is valid in XML, XHTML, and HTML 5, but not HTML 4) is now
recognized as a named entity and converted to a single quote.

so keep just one around
- Update to 4.7.1:
* Fixed a significant performance problem introduced in 4.7.0. [bug=1810617]
* Fixed an incorrectly raised exception when inserting a tag before or
after an identical tag. [bug=1810692]
* Beautiful Soup will no longer try to keep track of namespaces that
are not defined with a prefix; this can confuse soupselect. [bug=1810680]
* Tried even harder to avoid the deprecation warning originally fixed in
4.6.1. [bug=1778909]
* Beautiful Soup's CSS Selector implementation has been replaced by a
dependency on Isaac Muse's SoupSieve project (the soupsieve package
on PyPI). The good news is that SoupSieve has a much more robust and
complete implementation of CSS selectors, resolving a large number
of longstanding issues. The bad news is that from this point onward,
SoupSieve must be installed if you want to use the select() method.
* Added the PageElement.extend() method, which works like list.append().
[bug=1514970]
* PageElement.insert_before() and insert_after() now take a variable
number of arguments. [bug=1514970]
* Fix a number of problems with the tree builder that caused
trees that were superficially okay, but which fell apart when bits
were extracted. Patch by Isaac Muse. [bug=1782928,1809910]
* Fixed a problem with the tree builder in which elements that
contained no content (such as empty comments and all-whitespace
elements) were not being treated as part of the tree. Patch by Isaac
Muse. [bug=1798699]
* Fixed a problem with multi-valued attributes where the value
contained whitespace. Thanks to Jens Svalgaard for the
fix. [bug=1787453]

- update to 4.6.1:
* Stop data loss when encountering an empty numeric entity, and
possibly in other cases. Thanks to tos.kamiya for the fix. [bug=1698503]
* Preserve XML namespaces introduced inside an XML document, not just
the ones introduced at the top level. [bug=1718787]
* Added a new formatter, "html5", which represents void elements
as "<element>" rather than "<element/>". [bug=1716272]
* Fixed a problem where the html.parser tree builder interpreted
a string like "&foo " as the character entity "&foo;" [bug=1728706]
* Correctly handle invalid HTML numeric character entities like “
which reference code points that are not Unicode code points. Note
that this is only fixed when Beautiful Soup is used with the
html.parser parser -- html5lib already worked and I couldn't fix it
with lxml. [bug=1782933]
* Improved the warning given when no parser is specified. [bug=1780571]
* When markup contains duplicate elements, a select() call that
includes multiple match clauses will match all relevant
elements. [bug=1770596]
* Fixed code that was causing deprecation warnings in recent Python 3
versions. Includes a patch from Ville Skyttä. [bug=1778909] [bug=1689496]
* Fixed a Windows crash in diagnose() when checking whether a long
markup string is a filename. [bug=1737121]

* Added the `Tag.get_attribute_list` method, which acts like `Tag.get` for
getting the value of an attribute, but which always returns a list,
whether or not the attribute is a multi-value attribute. [bug=1678589]
* Improved the handling of empty-element tags like <br> when using the
html.parser parser. [bug=1676935]
* HTML parsers treat all HTML4 and HTML5 empty element tags (aka void
element tags) correctly. [bug=1656909]
* Namespace prefix is preserved when an XML tag is copied. Thanks
to Vikas for a patch and test. [bug=1685172]
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-beautifulsoup4?expand=0&rev=48
- update to 4.5.1:
* Fixed a crash when passing Unicode markup that contained a
processing instruction into the lxml HTML parser on Python
3. [bug=1608048]
* Beautiful Soup is no longer compatible with Python 2.6. This
actually happened a few releases ago, but it's now official.
* Beautiful Soup will now work with versions of html5lib greater than
0.99999999. [bug=1603299]
* If a search against each individual value of a multi-valued
attribute fails, the search will be run one final time against the
complete attribute value considered as a single string. That is, if
a tag has class="foo bar" and neither "foo" nor "bar" matches, but
"foo bar" does, the tag is now considered a match.
This happened in previous versions, but only when the value being
searched for was a string. Now it also works when that value is
a regular expression, a list of strings, etc. [bug=1476868]
* Fixed a bug that deranged the tree when a whitespace element was
reparented into a tag that contained an identical whitespace
element. [bug=1505351]
* Added support for CSS selector values that contain quoted spaces,
such as tag[style="display: foo"]. [bug=1540588]
* Corrected handling of XML processing instructions. [bug=1504393]
* Corrected an encoding error that happened when a BeautifulSoup
object was copied. [bug=1554439]
* The contents of <textarea> tags will no longer be modified when the
tree is prettified. [bug=1555829]
* When a BeautifulSoup object is pickled but its tree builder cannot
be pickled, its .builder attribute is set to None instead of being
destroyed. This avoids a performance problem once the object is
unpickled. [bug=1523629]

* Fixed a bug that deranged the tree when part of it was
removed. Thanks to Eric Weiser for the patch and John Wiseman for a
test. lp#1481520

Kramer for the patch. lp#1483781
* Improved the implementation of CSS selector grouping. Thanks to
Orangain for the patch. lp#1484543
* Fixed the test_detect_utf8 test so that it works when chardet is
installed. lp#1471359
* Corrected the output of Declaration objects. lp#1477847

- update to 4.2.1:
* The default XML formatter will now replace ampersands even if they
appear to be part of entities. That is, "<" will become
"&lt;". The old code was left over from Beautiful Soup 3, which
didn't always turn entities into Unicode characters.
If you really want the old behavior (maybe because you add new
strings to the tree, those strings include entities, and you want
the formatter to leave them alone on output), it can be found in
EntitySubstitution.substitute_xml_containing_entities(). [bug=1182183]
* Gave new_string() the ability to create subclasses of
NavigableString. [bug=1181986]
* Fixed another bug by which the html5lib tree builder could create a
disconnected tree. [bug=1182089]
* The .previous_element of a BeautifulSoup object is now always None,
not the last element to be parsed. [bug=1182089]
* Fixed test failures when lxml is not installed. [bug=1181589]
* html5lib now supports Python 3. Fixed some Python 2-specific
code in the html5lib test suite. [bug=1181624]
* The html.parser treebuilder can now handle numeric attributes in
text when the hexidecimal name of the attribute starts with a
capital X. Patch by Tim Shirley. [bug=1186242]
